Metro Transit suspended all bus service Thursday morning, although added that passengers stranded on stuck buses can wait on board until help arrives or conditions improve. Ferry service is unaffected.

All buses have been put on an operational pause and will pull over to a safe location until further notice. #hfxtransit
